John is very kind, considerate, and helpful. I have had a few disappointing experiences with therapy, but John has changed my mind on every aspect of it. I appreciate John incorporating Christianity into our sessions, as my faith is very important to me.

Let me cut to the chase! John is a thoughtful listener who has insight and knowledge of real-world tools to manage stress, anxiety, and anger. These are my challenges but he clearly knows more than I’ve requested. As a skeptical man myself, please understand when I say: “Worth every penny!” If you need a change in your life, then talk with John for his kind help. Again, worth every penny.

John has helped me navigate some of the very tough challenges of my life and has supported me in getting my life together in general. I had difficulty managing various stressors and was addicted to Marijuana to cope with them. John has helped me identify these patterns of unhealthy choices and in fixing them so that I can move on to more significant challenges in life and career, which had to take a backseat because of my everyday stress from Family and relationships.
